Cambria Road, London

Yet another empty property in our nation’s capital going to waste. There is a more personal story here, which we won’t go into for legal reasons, but at the end of the day, there’s a lovely family home just sitting there year upon year.
Local authorities have the powers to force owners to bring such properties back into use but as out recent blog highlighted they don’t use them. If the council tax is being paid it seems all is hunky dory. The fact that there are people sleeping on the streets nearby and young people desperate to get on the housing ladder doesn’t seem to matter.
